Tanko Yakasai, a founding member
of Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) , says there has been no significant change
in Nigeria since APC took over power.
Yakasai spoke on Tuesday when he
featured on Sunrise Daily, a Channels Television programme.
Giving his assessment of Nigeria
during the 59th independence anniversary, the elder statesman said the nation
has not progressed.
“What I am saying is because when
APC was formed, their main slogan was change and everybody was carried away by
that slogan, left, right and centre. Now, almost five years after the APC rule,
nothing has changed,” he said.
“But our mistake was that when we
decided to support APC on their change slogan, we did not ask them what will
constitute change that they are talking about.
“We kept quiet, we supported them
and gave them almost everything they wanted; now after taking over power, we
didn’t see any change. ”
The elder statesman called for
the restructuring of the country, saying it would help build a better nation
for the coming generations.
“What the proponent of
restructuring should do is to define… give us a blue print of what will
constitute a restructured Nigeria, how Nigeria will look like,” he said.
“I am looking for what my
children will inherit by way of a restructured Nigeria.”
He also challenged the APC
administration to tackle the various challenges facing the country.
We are deeply sorry to all our opponents,we taught the change for a positive one, hence we vigorously supported and campaigned for APC,not knowing that they are worse,I tender my own apology to all that i canvassed to vote for APC,i feel i have disappointed many people for almost 5years now.Buhari,Tinubu,osinbajo,Fowler,fashola etc,Yoruba race will someday stone you all like saraki
